We decided to end our week of kindness as a family. We wanted to go around tonight doing random acts of kindness for people Hopefully, it will inspire our kids, the strangers that received, and you out there in internet world to “pay it forward.” We talked along the way about how it would make them feel if these nice things happened to them. By having them reflect on how it would make them feel, it internalizes part of why we do it and really gets to their hearts. Our ideas:
Pay for someone’s coffee at Starbucks.
Put money in a vending machine for the next person who might come along.
Take cookies to people – for us, it was a widow, our own family and people we know who are struggling financially. You can link through to my chocolate chip cookie recipe…our favorite.
Send an E-Card to Grandma just to say, “I Love You”.
Give Flowers to a Stranger (this one ended up being my favorite as we delivered these flowers to a woman at the bus stop):
